al, no security whatever, and the off.
GERS were unable to make any explanation.
Vice-P President Harper concealed from
the directors. his connection with the wheat
deal. 1t is said that he admitted yester.
day that he did not 60 into wheat himself
but that he hOnored an overdraft for Will
shire for $4S, 900 and then put in the rest
to save that. He charges the whole break
to the Chicago board of trade, making all
the wheat regular. Previous to the expos
ure Harper stated repeatedly that he did
not know who was in the wheat deal and
that he did not believe it was managed at
all in Cincinnati but was conducted from
California and Cleveland.
CAvERNoUs DEFICIT.
CINCINNATI. June GAS the examination
Of the Fidelity National Bank proceeds, the
cavernous deficit increases. 1t is now
common talk that the liabilities OF the
bank will reach the stupendous sum of
5000. 900, while the assets dwindle in
proportion. It seems q f~oregone conclu-
sion that the depositors will get next to
nothing. This is the general talk but un-
official and cannot bs verified until the
examiner makes his report. It is
to-day that the memorandum
which is a substitute for the collaterals,
shows that Wiltshire used $1,1OO, 900 of
the banks money and collaterals for other
loans hypothecated in New York and
It is the belief OF some
that Wiltshire acted as the agent ofHarper,
in conducting the wheat deal and not really
is q borrower. There is talk of more ar
rests.

Heavy Shipment of Arm to Honolulu.

AA0~VI -
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22.-In connection
with the rather startling statements
brought by passengers from Honolulu last
week predicting a revolution in the Ha-
waiian kingdom it has been disclosed that
large shipments Of arms and ammunition
have been made from this port for Homo
lulu. The steamship Australia, which
sailed yesterday. carried 900 Winchester
rifles, "a, 900 cartridges, four cases OF re-
volvers and q quantity OF powder. The
schooner Forest Queen carried thirteen
cases of powder, two cases OF bullets and
one case of pistols. The barkentine Colusa
carried two cases Of arms and ammunition.
These shipments by the steamers and sail
ing vessels are not very large to the Amer
lean mind, but when the fact that the Ha-
waian army can muster but about two
thousand rifles is taken into considerable
the shipment is one to cause considerable
speculation. The firms to whom these
arms were consigned are what are now
as missionary firms-opposed to the gov-
eminent. They were therefore evidently
not shipped on account of the government,
since heretofore arms for the Hawaiian
TROOPS have been ordered direct.

taking as much care of them as we would
of our own. This may open the way for
the extension of the same provision to
other textbooks, as has been done in
some other States with good results.
The law requires that every child of
good health and sound mind, between
eight and II years of age, shall attend a
public school at least three months in the
year, unless such child has been other
wise furnished with the means of educa-
ton. As there is no enumeration of
children of school age, | am unable to
say to what extent this law is complied
with. / apprehend however, that there
are some children of this class who are
not in school. If it is known that there
are such in any district, they should be
reported to the prudential committee,
who is required by law to take measures
to compel their attendance.
The substitution of the town for the
district system is still strongly urged
by prominent educators throughout the
State. You have twice refused to adopt
it by large maiorities. think the sub
iect has not been fully understood by
you and is worthy your careful investi-
CATION. While | am not wholly in favor of
it, it has some advantages which should
not be overlooked. The chief of these
are that it would give to the rural dis.
tricts better teachers and longer schools
and more thorough and systematized
work. If the districts desire to continue
the management of their own schools
let them endeavOr to make them as gooc
as they would be under the town system
That the village schools are better than
the country schools is very manifest
The reason is equally manifest. Nor,
money is raised. better teachers ar,
employed, higher wages are paid, NOR,
weeks instruction are given-the whole
school work is carried on according to
well-arranged system.
According to the report of the schools
for the year ending last April, this vii
raised by taxation S4200, which was 3,
schools of IS weeks each. East Middle
bury raised % per cent and had school
of 80 weeks each. The other schools il
town raised on an average less than i
per cent and had an average of less thai
30 weeks school. Some of them raise'
less than half the amount received iron
the public money. This shows that thes
districts are not doing as well as the,
ought, and unless they do better til
State will surely compel the adoption o
the town system as other States hav
done.
Since the above report was made tn
school in East Middlebury has closed
term of fourteen weeks. 1t was laugh
by ID. +. Taylor of Bristol, a teacher q
much experience. Both teacher an
scholars have done commendable an
successful work.
